The Foundation

You’ve heard it before: AI can help you solve all your business problems. But what’s not always clear is how to get there. Instead of tasking your team with AI research and innovation, trust our experts to evaluate your challenges, determine best-fit solutions and realize rapid ROI.

We help clients succeed with foundational AI solutions — robotic process automation (RPA), predictive analytics and generative AI and ChatBots. These small-scale AI fixes alleviate big headaches like manual tasks, overcomplicated processes and repetitive support requests.

We call these tiny but mighty tools AI nanoproducts. Based on generative pre-trained transformers (GPTs), they empower your team to use pre-coded or customized GPTs to reimagine business processes like data validation, customer service, expense tracking, business development and employee onboarding.

Expertise

No matter where you are in your AI journey — thinking about it, getting started or moving forward — we help you accelerate AI to improve your data, streamline processes, reduce risk and drive growth.

Solve problems at warp speed with pre-built AI nanoproducts or scale up with custom AI engineering services. Work with AI consulting services experts to understand where you should start with AI, define your enterprise AI strategy, get your data AI-ready and establish your AI risk management approach.
